I'm sorry but we need to stop taking important knowledge away from our kids. Ok you don't need calculus in everyday life but topics like this form the basis of STEM and of understanding the world around you

If your plan is to goto college in engineering or c.s., than this is poor advice. Studying calculus in high school puts you on par with other students who studied in h.s. The pace that calculus is taught in college is brutal.

If you want to talk about a digital divided...discuss those going to the university having taken Calc in high school versus those who haven't. If you can AP out of calc...all the better. More time to focus on other disciplines.

Most people will never need anything beyond practical math, arithmetic, percentages, decimals.. Anything beyond that should be elective.

And...he's WRONG. Perhaps not ALL students at an average high school can handle it, but college bound students at my old high school were grateful for it and advanced chemistry, biology, and physics classes...
